Once attached to the switch, the operator can flip the lever by hand to move the turnout points and select the desired track route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL62 is the \u003cstrong\u003eleft-hand version\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Atlas Manual Switch Machine. It is an excellent choice for easily accessible turnouts where simple manual operation is preferred over electrical remote control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManual Control for Atlas Code 100 Snap-Switches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas designed ATL62 specifically for \u003cstrong\u003eCode 100 Snap-Switches\u003c\/strong\u003e. The switch machine provides the mechanical movement needed to position the turnout points and direct trains through the selected route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause operation is completely manual, there is no need to wire the switch machine to a control panel simply to throw the turnout. The operator reaches the switch and moves the lever by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeft-Hand Switch Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL62 is specifically the \u003cstrong\u003eleft-hand configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e. Switch-machine orientation matters because the mechanism must properly align with the compatible track switch and its movable points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the opposite configuration, use the corresponding Atlas right-hand manual switch machine. Verify the required orientation of your Snap-Switch before selecting a replacement switch machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple Hand-Operated Turnout Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManual switch machines are particularly useful for \u003cstrong\u003eturnouts located within easy reach of the operator\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than adding wiring and electrical turnout controls, the route can simply be changed directly at the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis straightforward operation works well for smaller layouts, industrial switching areas, yards, sidings and other locations where the operator can comfortably reach the turnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas HO Manual Switch Machine Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHO Scale model railroad switch machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeft-hand configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Atlas Code 100 Snap-Switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual hand-operated turnout control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever moves the turnout points by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelects between available track routes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo powered switch machine required for turnout operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for easily accessible switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for replacement and layout maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch machine only – turnout not included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas manufacturer item number 0062\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFusion Scale Hobbies SKU ATL62\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManual vs. Remote Switch Machines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn Atlas \u003cstrong\u003emanual switch machine\u003c\/strong\u003e requires the operator to physically move the lever at the turnout.
